Blogger Blog Redirection - Two ways.

Search preference redirect option allows you to redirect from one page of your blog to another page of your blog. But this article will help you knowing redirection of whole blog to another blog.

There are two ways of redirection,
  1. Redirecting Visually 
  2. HTML Redirect 

1) Redirecting visually :- [Recommended]
  1. Go to Dashboard > Layouts 
  2. Click on Add a gadget 
  3. Scroll down and click on HTML/Javascript gadget 
  4. In the appearing box, make an announcement like below,
    This blog has been moved. Visitors are asked to redirect <a href="URL of your Second blog">here</a>.
  5. Save it. You are done.
The advantage of this kind of traffic redirection is that, the blog visitors will now know what is the new URL and in fact they'd be aware that the blog has been moved.

2) HTML Redirect :- [Not much effective]
  1. Go to Dashboard > Themes > Click the three dot menu near Customize and click on Edit HTML
  2. Press Ctrl + F and find </head>
  3. Above head </head> paste the following code,
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=URL of the blog you want to redirect">
  4. Now replace URL of the blog you want to redirect with the actual URL of the blog you want to redirect.
  5. Click the floppy disk icon at the bottom right which indicates Save template.
  6. You are done.

Blogger Tweak - Open external links in new tab automatically

So, once upon a time, a really long while ago, I tried to customise and recreate a Blogger template which is not available anymore, but there's one thing I remember about it. I had a jQuery code written to make all the external links open in new tab. I also thought, it's about time I revive that idea and write a more intact code and here we go.  So, there are two things to do.  Add Javascript code that detects external links and opens them in new tab. Add a CSS code to let users know that a particular link is going to be opened in new tab. Adding a javascript code Please follow the instructions below, Go to https://blogger.com  dashboard Navigate to Themes > click the down arrow near "Customize" and then click on Edit HTML.

What is Cloudflare? Well we have that written all over Wikipedia: Cloudflare . Let's go on with why Blogger users look for Cloudflare. Anciently Blogger users used Cloudflare for one simple reason. HTTPS for custom domains. So what happens when you introduce Cloudflare into your domain? DNS Redirect. Your custom domain will be configured with the proxy info provided by Cloudflare and when the request is hit, DNS redirect happens. DNS redirect is bad for the site's health. A number of reasons, but the most important is that some browsers, when it detects a DNS redirection, it thinks that it is a phishing site. What is a DNS redirect?
